New Friday Notes: notes for next week

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

ABOUT THE LSA:  Reminder:
With the price of postage  soon to exceed  the (original) price of a burger & fries at a well know chain, please remember that NEILSA has ways of communication that are  at no charge to your library:

Van Service

Phone – Voice 233-1200 or (long distance) 800/772-2023*

--Fax 233-1964 or (long distance) 877/396-8359*

* No charge to the library

e-mail 

If we need something mailed we will tell you, usually a fax with the original copy in the van service bag will save you the cost of postage.  We want you to call us for any reason/problem that you want assistance with or just to talk it over.  That is why we have 800 numbers.  You might find that we have some very unusual resources that you can use to solve a little problem.  For example one of the librarians happened to mention she was working on a bookmark  but couldn't find anything that was copyright free - NEILSA has a book of copyright free clip art bookmarks.
